Contemporary Welsh sculptor Barry Flanagan is best known for his animal sculptures, particularly those of triumphant, leaping, anthropomorphic hares. Flanagan poses his hares as if they were people, sometimes in stretched-leg, sinuous jumps, dancing, or gazing into a telescope.
Born in North Wales, Flanagan studied at Birmingham College of Arts and Crafts, England (1957-1958) and St. Martin's School of Art, London (1964-1966). He went on to teach at St. Martin's and at Central School of A (showing 500 of 3354 characters). |
